AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Chief, Officer Promotions, Appointments and Selection Continuation Branch, HQ AFPC/DPPPO, reviewed the application and recommends denial.  DPPPO states that the applicant has not substantiated his contentions in compliance with Air Force policy, specifically, that the CY00B central major selection board compared his Army OERs with the Air Force Evaluation System. 

DPPO states that the applicant knew but chose not to exercise his right to express his concern to the board president on Army OERs differing from Air Force OPRs.  Via an initialed Memorandum of Instruction, board president and panel members are aware that reports from outside activities should be given the same weight as if an Air Force evaluator had written them.  A complete copy of the advisory is located at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The applicant reviewed the advisory opinion and reiterated his initial contentions.  In a subsequent submission, he requested that his Army Evaluation Reports, or at least those rendered on him as a lieutenant be removed from his records.  The applicant stated that these reports have no correlation with his duty performance as an Air Force chaplain and such action would enhance his Air Force performance records.

Copies of the applicant’s submissions are at Exhibit E.
